SMITH'S FAVORITE 



This Geranium is a sport from the Prince Charles. 

 It is a great bloomer, having double flowers, varie- 

 gated and very pretty. The stem is from 4 to 6 

 inches long. I have cultivated it for three years. 

 I have somewhere between (500 and SOO plants. I 

 think til ere is none other like it in the United States. 

 The flower will last as long as Carnations after be- 

 ingcut. I now offer them for sale for the first time, 

 3 at the dozen rate. Rates, $t).00 per dozen. 

 Cash with order.
